Microsoft needs to remove GUI from kernel: BSOD with WinForms after KB5034848

[afrisch]

It's crazy a such a simple script, which is actually the same as 6 years ago, can produce a BSOD in a deterministic way with the latest update of Windows. And nobody at MS seems to care about it.

It's actually been fixed. I didn't, and neither did OP, read far enough through the SO thread linked in the GitHub issue.

Fix was previously included in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/june-27-2017-kb402....

> Addressed issue (Error 0x7F) with Windows Forms (WinForms) that causes the system to crash after upgrading to the Creators Update.

No, no they don't. They already tried that with NT4. It went badly for anyone wanting decent graphics performance.

So at least they should really work hard to not let a BSOD happen in case of excessive nesting of widgets. The repro case is actually the same than the one for a bug which was fixed 6 years ago, and it is straightforward (just nest enough panels in a modal popup, and close it). It's hard to understand how this could not be caught by a non regression test.
